The Agenda was approved as published.
III. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS ACTIVITY REVIEW - 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985
It was noted that information regarding the activities of the Board of
Adjustments and Appeals was included in the packet.
IV. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
A. Review the Board Duties as Outlined in Applying and Interpreting City
Code
1. Direction from City Council to Board in applying and interpreting
City Code
Ron Kruger said he believed the Board should review each item on a
case-by-case basis. Peterson asked if the Board was able to
operate effectively under those guidelines. Kruger said the Board
is willing to look at things on that basis and is comfortable with
this procedure.
2. Discuss the definition of an undue hardship as defined in Chapter
2
Bentley asked at what point would the Board run into the question
of whether or not this was "spot zoning". Assistant Planner
1
Joint Meeting Minutes -2- November 5, 1985
Durham said that has not been a problem to date; the fact that
there is a variance process in place helps to alleviate that.
Bentley asked what constitutes a hardship. Durham reviewed what
constitutes a hardship. Redpath said he believes most hardships
are based on common-sense decisions. Redpath indicated that in
Bloomington a staff person makes the decision regarding the
variance/hardship and it goes before the City Council on the
Consent Calendar. Durham reviewed the procedures in use by other
Boards of Appeals in several communities in the area.
Pidcock asked if blanket variances were given. Durham said there
might be in the case of a height variance in a given project, but
generally that is not the case. Kruger illustrated an instance
where it might be done in a subdivision.
Councilmember Anderson asked what happens to a person who builds a
deck without a permit. City Manager Jullie said sometimes the
person has had to remove the deck; and a double permit fee is
charged.
Redpath said he thought that in some instances the Board of
Appeals should adhere to the letter of the law and allow the
proponent to appeal a decision to the City Council. Bentley said
is he believed there should be strict interpretation of the City
Code; he did think that items should be looked at on a case-by-
case basis. Bentley said he thought the Board should look at
community standards rather than just whether or not the neighbors
approve or disapprove of something. Krueger said the Staff •
Reports would have to include more details. Anderson asked if
perhaps some types of variances might be handled by City Staff;
he had heard comments that the process was a long one and
sometimes held up a project. Board member Anderson said he did
not know how Staff would decide on a variance, particularly if the
request were a unique situation; he expressed concern as to whom
would make the decision as to whether or not a variance would go
to the Board. Jullie noted the variance process is a statutory
procedure. Pidcock said she thought the neighbors should have
some say regarding a variance since they are the ones who have to
live with it. Redpath said he thought Staff should look into what
Code changes might be made to facilitate the process.
B. Review Planned Unit Development purpose in relation to PUD variances
sent to the Board of Adjustments and Appeals
Planning Director Enger said he believed some changes could be made in
the Code regarding parking spaces and building height in the Major
1
Joint Meeting Minutes -3- November 5, 1985
Center Area. Durham said all the buildings in the City West PUD have
had to go through the variance process for one reason or another.
Enger said perhaps the size of a PUD could be reduced; the Code could
be changed to reflect areas of need which would then eliminate the
housekeeping-variance items and leave only the variances due to
hardships.
Councilmember Anderson asked how long it takes to go through the
variance process. Enger said the process can be done coincidently
with the planning review process if the need for a variance is •
realized early on in the process.
Bentley said he believed that more and more the developers are trying
to squeeze bigger projects onto smaller parcels. He said he thought
the City Council must look at what it is approving when it comes to
density. He said the idea of a PUD was to allow creative things and
to allow clustering and open space. Bentley said the City should not
look at PUDs as a means of avoiding the variance process.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct Staff to look
into changes in the City Code which might improve the variance
process.
Councilmember Anderson said he would like Staff to look into what is
done in Bloomington. Bentley suggested certain basic variances could
be written into a PUD by Staff. Enger said there is usually not
enough information on specific sites to make the proper determinations
at the outset. Sandvick said he would like to have some of the
decisions made with legal counsel present at the Board of Appeals
meetings. He said the City should take a look at the legality of the
Board also; he said he would like to have review by the City Attorney
included in the motion.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
Sandvick said he would like to see the City Attorney review changes to
be made to the City Code and to have the City Attorney review the
process which is now in place.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to include review by the
City Attorney in the discussion of the City Code regarding the Board
of Adjustments and Appeals. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Review increasing Board of Adjustments and Appeals membership from 5
to 7 members
Krueger said the addition of two members would help to alleviate the 9.
problems the Board sometimes has with members who have to miss a
Joint fleeting Minutes -4- November 5, 1985
meeting or might have to abstain from voting on a matter. Sandvick
and Board member Anderson concurred and noted that Board member Lynch
had also spoken in favor of increasing the membership.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to amend the City Code
to increase the number of members of the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals from five to seven members. Motion carried unanimously.
Bentley said he thought the question of undue hardship could be a two-hour
discussion topic. He said he would like to have the Board come up with a
more definitive response to that question; this might be done in the
discussion the Board has with the City Attorney.
Krueger said he did not think it was the Board of Appeals role to review
the decision regarding the zoning of the tennis club property. Enger said
whenever a proponent wishes to appeal a Staff decision, the proponent has
the right to appeal to the Board of Appeals.
Councilmember Anderson said the process of meeting with each of the Boards
and Commissions has been a good one. Krueger said he has been on the
Board of Appeals for ten years and this was the first time he recalled
meeting with the City Council. Hanley Anderson said he likes the way in
which the Board of Appeals is dealing with the hardship issue presently.
He said he believed the main problems of the Board to be too few members
and the PUD process. Sandvick said he felt the Council was looking for
guidelines in dealing with the "undue hardship" issue.
Mayor Peterson thanked the Board members for their work and for spending
another evening out by coining this evening.
V. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION; Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adjourn the meeting at
7:15 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 26, 1986
SUBJECT: Tax Forfeited Lands
On December 17, 1985, the City Council passed Resolution 85-274 requesting
acquisition of four parcels of tax forfeited land for public park and roadway.
Two of those parties were lots within the Duck Lake Vista subdivision fronting
on County Road 4. Staff recommended acquisition of the lots in order to have
sufficient easement to construct a bicycle trail within that area.
Last week an Eden Prairie resident indicated that he was in the process of
purchasing those two lots with the intention of contructing a single family
dwelling on each lot. He has provided the City with a letter agreeing to
provide a free bicycle easement along the frontage of both lots, and requests
the City to rescind the request for the conveyance of those lots to the City .
Attached is a resolution withdrawing the application for conveyance of those
tax forfeited parcels. Staff recommends approval of this resolution.

SUBJECT: Parade Permit for "Project Co ern"
DATE: February 18, 1986

To: Carl Jullie, City Manager
From: Lt. Clark
Subject: Parade Permit for Project Concern
We have had several years of experience with the Walk
for Mankind and have found the group to be well
Oorganized and cooperative.
I would however recommend that we have the City
FCouncil review this request and be made aware of the
event.
From a Law Enforcement perspective it is an event that
we can manage. The organization does provide good support
in the form of medical aid and supervision. Consequently
C we are left with the traffic control issues. This past
year we used 7 Reserve Officers at no cost to the City
E and used 2 on-duty Officers to assist with traffic.
There were some minor expenses that the City was
responsible for when we provided lunch for the Reserve
Off-fceTs. Aside from that there were no additional
expenses.
The reason I feel that the City Council should review
this request is that in the past we have nad, on the
M average, 3 - 5 complaints from residents regarding
young people walking across lawns, ect. Most of these
E complaints were easily dealt with however I suspect that
some people may contact a City Council member rather
than the Public Safety Department.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 27, 1986
SUBJECT: Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition Supplementary Staff Report to the
January 24, 1986 Planning Staff Report
Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition is a request for zoning district change from
Rural to R-1 13.5 on 6.4 acres. The major park, recreation and natural
resources concern regarding this proposal relates to the pedestrian system.
An existing trail easement for a future 8' wide asphalt trail exists along the
Red Rock Lake shoreline, east of Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition and extends to
Red Rock Neighborhood Park. This trail and scenic easement are located at the
bottom of a relatively steep wooded hill and provide all of the residents
within the neighborhood access to a very scenic trail system along the lake
shoreline and along the edge of the marsh east of the lake.
Attached to this memo is a plan depicting the existing and proposed trail
system. The map shows the 5' wide concrete sidewalk along Village Woods Drive
and the proposed 8' asphalt trail along the shoreline with five proposed
access points to the sidewalk on Village Wood Drive. The western most access
from the 8' trail to the 5' concrete sidewalk along Village Woods Drive
extends through Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition. The problem with the proposed
trail relates to the topography within the 3rd addition.
The developer has proposed a trail connection between the eastern most house
and the eastern boundary of the third addition, then continuing north along
the cul-de-sac street connecting to Village Woods Drive. The original
proposal depicted an 8' asphalt trail with a 13-15% grade over a 50D' length
-of-traillFdtng with a 90 degree turn at the bottom of the hill. This design
is not safe, and would not be approved by City staff. The City attempts to
keep all bicycle trails and sidewalks less than a 7% grade and when the trail
exceeds a 7% grade it should only be for a minimal distance, and should not
have any turns at the bottom of the grade.
There are several alternatives to the trail proposed by the developer:
1. Terminate the trail at the eastern boundary of Red Rock Heights 3rd
Addition. Although, the developer would approve this alternative, City
staff oppose this alternative in that it would create approximately a 600'
deadend trail along Red Rock Lake.
2. Extend the 8' asphalt trail along the shoreline across the two eastern
lots of Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition, and then north, between the second
and third house from the east, to connect the trail to the cul-de-sac.
This option will allow continuation of the 8' asphalt trail and would
make a connection to a street at an acceptable grade. Although, this
option is acceptable to City staff, it is unacceptable to the property
owner in that the lots in Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition are not similar in
character to the lots further to the east as the topography in this area
is less steep and is not wooded between the location of the house and the
lakeshore. The public trail would be clearly visible between the home and
the lakeshore, and would considerbly reduce the value of the two lots and
would impact the third lot.
3. Begin lowering the trail on the north end and raising the trail on the
south end through retaining walls, fill, etc. in order to reduce the grade
and leave the trail in the location along the eastern border. Neither the
developer nor the staff find this solution acceptable due to the serious
impact the grading would have on the oak trees at the top of the hill.
4. End the 8' wide asphalt trail in a turn around for maintenance vehicles at
the eastern property line of Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition, and create a
pedestrian access to the north through a 5' wide concrete sidewalk and
series of steps north along the property line in the same location
proposed by the developer. The 5' concrete sidewalk would extend out to
Village Woods Drive along the developer's cul-de-sac street. This
proposal would satisfy the developer. It provides for easy maintenance of
the 8' asphalt trail adjacent to the lake; however, it cuts off the
bicycle access at this point. It is also very unlikely that the 5' wide
concrete section of the trail would be maintained free of snow in the
winter months, as the stairway would require hand shoveling.
The Planning Commission recommended a rejection of the concrete stairway, as
it eliminated that section of trail use by bicyclists. They were also
concerned with the increased maintenance costs of a stairway.
The Community Services staff recommend the stairway alternative because the
only other acceptable alternative is to extend the 8' trail across the
easterly two lots, or to terminate the trail at the eastern boundary of Red
Rock Heights 3rd Addition. Staff believes the public trail across those two
lots and between the two homes would cause an ongoing problem for both City
staff and property owners in the future, and staff believes the stairway
alternative it is preferable to terminating the trail.

Refer to staff report dated January 10, 1986 and memo dated
// January 31, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services.
Lambert introduced Charles Hettinger representing the Herlitz -

Kingrey asked if there is a more updated grading plan available.
Hettinger said there was not enough time to prepare a new grading
plan, but it would be submitted to the Council tomorrow night if
the Commission approved it tonight.
Cook said he did not feel secure approving a grading plan and tree
inventory which he has not seen.
Lambert said the Planning Staff has approved the plan with the
contingency that the grading plan will be changed.
MOTION: A motion was made by Cook to recommend approval of the
request per staff report with the following conditions: that no
action is taken until the new grading plan is reviewed and a new
tree inventory on trees to be saved is taken. Gonyea seconded the
motion and it passed 6-0.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: December 6, 1985
SUBJECT: Substantiation for Land Use Change--Douglas Corporation
LOCATION: South and west of Anderson Lakes Parkway and Highway #169, north of
Hennepin County Vocational/Technical School
Background
At the November 25, 1985, Planning Commission meeting, Commissioners requested
additional information about the larger picture within which the request of Douglas
Corporation for a Planned Unit Development Concept fits. Specific concerns were
raised regarding traffic, property value, land use balance, housing variety,
Comprehensive Guide Plan Goals, and impact upon future land uses.
The current Comprehensive Guide Plan designations for the site are for mixed
residential densities and High Density Residential and/or Office land uses. When
the 1980 Guide Plan was adopted, there were approximately 350 acres of land
designated for High Density Residential in the entire City. Of that 350 acres,
approximately 100 acres is currently developed as High Density Residential. Since
1980, an additional 100 acres have been changed from High Density Residential to
other land uses. Approximately 75 acres are pending construction at this time.
Counting the land remaining on the Northrup King farm, there are approximately 75
acres of land left out of the entire community for High Density Residential land
use.
If the City retains the current High Density Residential designation on the Northrup
King
the City e total
willbe1%loft amount of e
hetotalCitype and area. High
Residential in of
the total land area of the City which would be single family detached homes and
approximately 12% of the community which would be commercial, industrial, or office
uses. Clearly the City is in no danger of changing the character of the community
from that of a single family residential community to a high density residential
community. Moreover, this year the City has reviewed the majority of all the
potential high density areas in Eden Prairie. Therefore, this year is not
indicative of a trend, but rather the end of a trend.
It is expected that, over the course of the remaining development of the community,
with Eden Prairie having such a strong employment base, there will continue to be a
high multiple family housing demand. Even though the City's plan may not provide an
adequate amount of area to respond to the demand, the requests, nonetheless, are
expected. Responding to multiple family requests without appropriate Guide Plan
locations will be very difficult for developers, affected neighborhoods, the
Commissions, and City Council in the future. Remaining appropriate multiple family
areas are very sparse in Eden Prairie and could be viewed as a diminishing resource.
Eden Prairie's full complement of land available in each land use category has
allowed it to even out the individual land use cycles. As land in a particular
category is eliminated, the flexibility will end. The Northrup King farm is one of
the best places for multiple development in the community. It is not near single
family residential, it has been already planned for and designated on the Guide
Plan, it is near and very accessible to the Vocational-Technical school, major
recreation areas, and the Major Center Area commercial services. These conditions
do not exist on other sites in Eden Prairie.
Traffic
Eden Prairie currently has a resident population of approximately 25,000, with an
employment population of approximately 22,000. Surveys indicate that the majority
of the jobs do not match the housing stock in Eden Prairie. The vast majority of
the people that live in Eden Prairie work in some other community, and the vast
majority of people that work in Eden Prairie live in some other community. The
surrounding communities of Minnetonka, Bloomington, and Edina have the same
situation in that they are net importers of employees. Therefore, employees for
these areas have to come from South Minneapolis-Richfield areas and from areas
further west of Eden Prairie.
It is becoming an increasingly difficult problem for new employers in Eden Prairie
to locate service industry people. The extent to which Eden Prairie allows
additional industry that relies on large numbers of low-skilled or non-skilled
workers and does not provide additional housing to balance this need, increases the
net work-day traffic into and out of Eden Prairie. Eden Prairie's number one
problem in the future will be traffic and transportation.
Eden Prairie has control over local collector roads which can be built to move
people within the community to jobs, goods, and services. However, it is a well-
known fact that. Eden Prairie has very little control over, and has had very poor
success in obtaining, major highway improvements of I-494, Highway #5, and Highway
#169, which provide the network for people to move out of Eden Prairie to jobs in
other areas and to move into Eden Prairie from population centers in other areas.
However, Eden Prairie continues to have control over land use in the community.
Eden Prairie can strongly influence how much of each type of land use is located in
the community and where it is located in the community. To the extent that this
control can be utilized to help solve the number one future problem, it should be.
The quality of life in a community is affected by many things, not the least of
which is whether you can drive in the community at rush hour.
If the balance of the Northrup King farm is developed as shown on the current
Comprehensive Guide Plan, it will provide a mixture of housing which would help
provide a place to live for people that currently work in the community. It is
unlikely that the large demand for multiple housing currently being evidenced in
Eden Prairie is the result of people's desire to rent in Eden Prairie, but work in
other communities. More likely it is the result of the fact that the employees
that currently have to drive into Eden Prairie from moderately long distances would
find it appealing to live closer to their place of work. To the extent that mixed
multiple family housing, some of a rental nature, can be provided in Eden Prairie,
it will help reduce the amount of incoming work-related traffic currently apparent
( in Eden Prairie.
(
If this housing is not provided, but rather more manufacturing jobs are provided,
{ not only will the current traffic problem not be made better, but it will be further
exacerbated by more unplanned manufacturing, not balanced by adequate housing. We
have made calculations and feel that the difference in impact upon the highway
system in Eden Prairie of providing housing on this site, versus a manufacturing
plant on this site, is between 5,000-7,000 average daily trips on our highway
network. Certainly this is a factor which is worthy of consideration.
Taxes
Taxes seem to be at the center of many land use decisions, although the Planning
Commission very rarely uses that as rationale for a land use change. However, while
comparing multiple family and industrial, the subject of taxes has been raised. The
assessed valuation for a combination of single family and multiple family
residential on the south portion of the Northrup King farm would be approximately
$18,000,000 assessed valuation. By the City Assessing Department's calculations,
the Douglas Corporation 320,000 sq. ft. of initial industrial and future 20-acre
development of 260,000 sq. ft. would have a total assessed value of $8,500,000, less
fiscal disparities, giving a net of approximately $6,000,000.
Land Use
The future land use anticipated to the east of the Douglas Corporation project along
Highway #169 is planned as Office. The introduction of a manufacturing plant
adjacent and immediately west of this future Office area would lend strong impetus
to change the Office designation to office/warehouse in the very near future. Not
only does there continue to be a strong demand for office/warehouse use, but the
argument against office/warehouse uses as an incompatible land use adjacent to a
manufacturing plant would be less effective than next to residential. There is a
high probability that the entire active area of the Northrup King farm south of
Anderson Lakes Parkway could be a potential industrial park. This, of course, has a
radical effect on the image of the community, which was originally anticipating a
residential character along Anderson Lakes Parkway.
The area proposed for park is not needed as active park space and all the costs of
obtaining this property have not, at this time, been determined. For example, is
this property being conveyed free and clear of any assessments? Is it being
requested for offset of Cash Park Fees? In addition, the amount of land on the west
side of the proposal shown as privately held Open Space is not needed for the City
park system, does not add to the park system, and is only needed because of the
compatibility of the land use being proposed.
The concept of a balanced community is a strong principle upon which many land use
decisions and designations have been based for the Comprehensive Guide Plan. When
specific sites of the Comprehensive Guide Plan are changed without substantiation
and at counter-purposes to these major goals, the principles upon which the entire
Comprehensive Guide Plan is based are, in fact, being changed upon a site-specific
basis. This is inappropriate and sets a dangerous precedent for any continuity of
city planning decisions in the future. The burden of proof for land uses
incompatible with the Comprehensive Guide Plan rests with the proponent, not the
City's defense of its Comprehensive Guide Plan to the proponent.
r
Summary
The role of the City in carrying out the Comprehensive Guide Plan is to look at the
big picture and implement it on a site-specific basis. Individual sites and
requests for change in the land use on those sites are reviewed against adopted
policies contained in the Comprehensive Guide Plan. It is appropriate to respond to
individual requests for land use changes that respond to the overall goals and
objectives of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. It is, however, inappropriate to change
the underlying principles of the Comprehensive Guide Plan based upon a site-specific
request. In doing this, the City destroys its framework of continuity for making
other land use decisions.
As years go by, people on City Councils and Commissions and Staff people change.
The development market changes. Developers change. The purpose of the
Comprehensive Guide Plan is to provide an overall framework of principles that can
be utilized to guide the City through these changes and provide continuity between
administrations. If the City is to be successful in city planning, rather than just
site planning, consistent principles need to be applied to review of individual
requests. A request for a land use other than that shown on the Comprehensive Guide
Plan on a specific site which furthers goals and principles of the Comprehensive
Guide Plan and can be substantiated in that way, could be approved. An individual
request contrary to the goals and principles of the Comprehensive Guide Plan which
does not further them, should be denied. If the City feels that there are
individual goals or objectives of the Comprehensive Guide Plan which should be
changed, they should be changed for conditions that exist throughout the City, not
based upon an individual request. This will protect the City from constanty
reacting to individual proposes with little foundation for decision, rather than
planning their own community.

Re: Douglas Corporation Headquarters Proposal
Dear Chris:
We have attempted to revaluate our proposal which was continued for further con-
sideration by the Planning Commission on January 13 to determine if there is
anything "new" that can be added to address the design and planning issues and
concerns raised in your December 6 staff report. After weeks of thoughtful
review and consideration, we have come to the conclusion that the concept
proposal as submitted represents a special and unique industrial headquarters
complex which, if given an opportunity to be implemented, will greatly benefit
the City of Eden Prairie in terms of technology, aesthetics, jobs, and tax base.
Therefore, we will not he presenting any new plans to the Planning Commission on
January 13 to make that which we feel is already "very" special "more" special.
However, we do feel that we should clarify our position in terms of the stipu-
lations contained in your December 6 staff report as conditions of approval "if
the Planning Commission felt that this type of land use would be appropriate on
(the) site".
1) Parking Setbacks - Douglas Corporation has no objection to a 75 foot
minimum setback area for parking along the streets as proposed in our
concept plan.
2) Extension of Space Between Buildings - Douglas Corporation feels that
the space between buildings should remain as shown on the proposed
concept. plan. We feel that the proportions of the proposed building
are consistent with our business thoughts on the effective internal
management of people, communications, and services that will take place
within the concourse which connects the various business units with
each other. Also, the generous open space area surrounding the
completed facility will help reduce the external mass and scale of the
complex even turther.
3) Scenic Easements - Douglas Corporation proposes to use scenic easements
for that portion of the site overlooking Purgatory Creek only. Open
space on the balance of the site will be conserved through a combina-
tion of private covenants, PAD zoning and site plan restrictions im-
posed through approval of the PAD zoning.

4) Loading Facilities - All loading dock areas will be completely
enclosed.
5) Berming - The industrial buildings will be one story, eighteen foot
high structures. The office buildings will be two stories in height.
Where appropriate, berming and landscapiang will be installed to mask
or conceal the buildings from residential areas that surround it.
Also, as stated previously, we will be berming parking areas to screen
them from the office and Vo-Tech school areas on the east and south
respectively.
6) Landscape Plan - The final approved landscape plan will comply with the
minimum caliper inch standards of the City Landscape Ordinance.
7) Timing of Landscape Buffers - Douglas Corporation will prepare a
schedule for installation of landscaping and special earth form
features (such as berms) which, if approved by the City, will be
followed in implementing the various phases of the development.
8) Research Road - All proposed roads will be dedicated as a part of the
final platting for the property.
9) Trails and Sidewalks - Douglas Corporation has no objection to the
construction of the bituminous or sidewalk referred to in this stipula-
tion. We will also design sidewalk connections between the various
buildings and the trail and sidewalk system installed to service the
site.
10) Mechanical Units - The objective is to ground mount all major mechani-
cal equipment. Where this is not feasible, all incidental roof top
mechanical equipment will be architecturally integrated (no picket
fencing) with the design of the building.
11) Open Space - Douglas Corporation has no objection to sharing all open
space areas proposed in the concept plan as open space in the City
Comprehensive Plan. The only exception will be the areas between the
Vo-Tech school and the (as we now see it) final phase of the complex.
We need the flexibility of being able to use that space for future
expansion if needs dictate. }lowever. we commit to the position that no
efforts will be made to expand into that area before the year 2000.
12) First Phase Zoning - Douglas Corporation has no objecticn to requesting
the zoning and comprehensive guide plan change needed to implement the
various phases of the project as a part of the first phase of the
development..
13) Study Model - Douglas Corporation will commission the preparation of a
model before preliminary site and building plans are approved for the
first phase of the development.

14) Building Appearance — The objective is to create an architectural
appearance that will be visually pleasing and efficient in design. The
buildings will not have an industrial appearance. They will be office
like in terms of appearance.
15) Lighting A lighting plan will be designed and developed which will be
beneficial to the area. Lighting standards will be designed to keep
the site safe and not create any glare within the neighborhood.
Douglas Corporation commits to implementing the concept plan as shown if it is
approved by the City. Before construction, several details will need to be
resolved and this will occur as the plans are taken from the current stage to
construction drawings. We are willing and committed to working with the City of
Eden Prairie to develop a functional and attractive corporate headquarters of
which Douglas Corporation and the City of Eden Prairie are proud. We ask the
Planning Commission to approve this concept plan so we collectively can proceed
to development.
Sincerely yours,

Douglas Corporation PUD 2 December 6, 1985
Staff felt that the use of the property for industrial 'land uses, not just the
Douglas Corporation, was inappropriate because of the effect on the Guide Plan
balance, incompatibility with surrounding land uses, and the visual impacts of a
large massive industrial facility on surrounding adjacent residential properties.
Staff also felt that the project had a definite industrial character and would be
more appropriate in other areas of the community already guided for Industrial
development.
Planned Unit Development Concept Plan
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Plan involves the development of
approximately 28 net acres of 'land at a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.24. If the
balance of the land area proposed for park dedication, open space, and potential
long-term future development is added, the gross acreage would be approximately 68
acres, and the FAR would be 0.11. A 0.11 FAR is a low intensity development, and to
insure that development would be limited to a project of this size, the proposed
open space areas should be set aside in a scenic easement to the City which would
allow the City the ability to construct bike trails, and at the same time, allow the
development to have control over the maintenance of the area. The area proposed for
scenic easement should also be designated as open space on the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
Setbacks to parking areas are based upon I-2 Zoning standards. Considering the size
of the project, at the very least, the property should be proposed for I-5 Zoning
with a minimum setback of 75 feet to parking. Since there is a significant amount
of open space on-site, setbacks to parking should be pushed to the maximum with
substantial berming proposed in front.
Architecture
To help downplay the industrial appearance of the project, mechanical units should
be located on the ground and appropriately screened or contained inside of the
building. This would help reduce the likelihood of mechanical units "growing" on
the building after building construction. This would provide a cleaner appearance
of the project from off-site.
The building is proposed to be constructed primarily of facebrick and glass. As
noted in the previous Staff Report, Staff did not feel that the use of brick on the
building negated the industrial appearance of the project. By lowering the building
on-site, behind large berms and landscaping, the industrial portion of the project
could be downplayed, while at the same time, highlighting the two-story office
portion which would be most visible from Anderson Lakes Parkway. There are two ways
in which building mass can be reduced. One would be to provide for substantial
berming and plantings around the site perimeter comparable in scale to the berms
created on the Tipton site, which vary between 15 to 30 feet in height. Another
approach would be to provide more open space between the buildings.
Considering the physical size of the project, it would be appropriate to have the
proponents prepare a study model for the next stage in development. This would be
extremely helpful in evaluating the sight lines and the effectiveness of berming and
landscaping to downplay the physical size of the project, downplay the industrial
character of the project, and emphasize the office portion. The Commission will
note that the study model prepared for the Tipton apartments, was very helpful in
evaluating the visual impacts of the project.
( t
Douglas Corporation PUD 3 December 6, 1985
Landscaping,
For a project of this size, totalling 320,000 square feet, the caliper inch
requirement would be 2,00D inches. Considering the physical size of the project, it
would be appropriate as a condition of approval of Phase I, to begin construction
of the berming and plantings such that when the future phases are completed, the
trees would have had the opportunity for several years of growth. The size of the
trees in the project should also be comparable in scale to the size of the building.
As a comparable example, the Tipton project had a large percentage of trees between
four and six-inch caliper for shade trees and 18 to 25 feet in height for coniferous
trees.
Roads
Previous traffic studies indicated a need for north/south collector roads between
Anderson Lakes Parkway and the Vo-Tech entrance such that traffic volumes could be
distributed proportionately. As a condition of approval for the project, it should
be required that the proponents dedicate a 70-foot right-of-way for road purposes.
Since this roadway would be a collector street, there should be an eight-foot wide
bituminous trail along one side, and a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the other
side to be consistent with City policy. In addition, there should be five-foot wide
concrete sidewalk pedestrian connections between the building parking areas and
sidewalks within City right-of-way.
Future Development
The project as proposed is divided into three phases. With a zoning change in Phase
I to an Industrial classification, there should also be a request and substantiation
from the proponents for a Guide Plan Change from Office and High Density Residential
to Industrial. A change to Industrial land uses on the property may precipitate
requests for Industrial uses along Highway #169; therefore, it is extremely
important that the project have a good visual transition and a definite office
appearance along the north/south collector road, such that the Office intent of the
Guide Plan would remain intact.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff believes that the land use impacts are the overriding determinants for denying
the request for industrial land uses on the property which would include the affect
on the Guide Plan balance, inappropriateness in relation to surrounding land uses,
and significant off-site visual impacts. If, on the other hand, the Planning
Commission felt that this type of land use would be appropriate on-site, then Staff
would recommend that approval be based on the following conditions:
i. Setbacks to parking areas would be at a minimum in the I-5 Zoning District,
or 75 feet.
2. Buildings should be moved farther apart to provide more open space and to
help downplay the physical mass of the project.
( 3. Dedicate scenic easements in ail areas proposed for open space to the City.
4. Loading facilities would be completely enclosed with a roof.
c
Douglas Corporation PUD 4 December 6, 1985
5. To downplay the height of the structure, extensive large berming comparable
in scale to the Tipton berms be constructed around the buildings perimeter.
6. Provide a landscape plan with a minimum of 2,000 caliper inches with large
trees planted in scale with the size of the building.
7. The proposed berming and landscape buffers should be constructed concurrent
with Phase I in order to help establish a visual barrier now that would be
more effective at the time of construction of latter phases.
8. Dedication of Research Road (70 feet in right-of-way) between Anderson Lakes
Parkway and the Vo-Tech.
9. Construction of a eight-foot wide bituminous trail and a five-foot wide
concrete sidewalk along Research Road. In addition, five-foot wide concrete
sidewalk connections should be constructed between the building parking
areas and the roadway.
10. No mechanical units would be constructed on the roof. Mechanical units
would be physically screened on the ground or contained inside of the
building.
11. All open areas proposed on this site should be changed to open space on the
Comprehensive Guide Plan.
12. The request for zoning with the first phase should also include a
•
Comprehensive Guide Plan request and substantiation from the proponent.
13. Preparation of the study model in order to appropriately determine what the
visual off-site impacts would be and the level of berming and landscaping
provided to visually enhance the project to downplay the industrial
appearance.
14. Brick and glass would be exterior materials with the manufacturing buildings
designed to have an office appearance.

Douglas Planned Unit Development 2 November 22, 1985
Development for approximately 100 acres of Industrial development, six acres of
Commercial, and 70 acres for High Density Residential. The initial request was
denied by the Planning Commission.
Subsequently, Tandem Corporation and Northrup King submitted requests for Guide Plan
Change which included less Industrial use and more Residential use. After several
meetings with the Planning Commission, a Guide Plan Change was finally approved
which did not include any Industrial uses, but did give consideration for Office
uses, with the balance of the site transitioning from west to east from Low Density
Residential to High Density Residential.
Current Comprehensive Guide Plan
The current Comprehensive Guide Plan is appropriate for a number of reasons
including the following:
1. Provides enough housing (1,100 to 2,000 units) to retain the original 1982
Guide Plan balance for housing (1,100) plus provides 900 units more to meet
housing demand created by future office uses on-site.
2. Land use transition is provided from west to east with Low Density
Residential to Medium Density Residential adjacent to the Centex project,
Medium Density Residential to High Oensity Residential in the center of the
project, as a transition to Office uses along Highway #169.
3. Office use along Highway #169 and adjacent to the Vo-Tech site is compatible
because of the impacts of traffic and noise from Highway #169.
4. The Guide Plan maintains the residential character of the surrounding land
uses adjacent to the entire Northrup King site. Residential uses are
depicted on the Guide Plan to the west, north, and east of the site. The
Hennepin Vo-Tech is south of the site.
5. The Guide Plan designates the uses in the most appropriate locations. Lower
Density Residential uses are proposed adjacent to the steep sloped areas
along Purgatory Creek where, because of the lower density minimal site
grading would occur, and the original site character could be retained.
High Density Residential and Office uses are proposed on the relatively
level portions of this site between the center of the site and Highway #169.
Impacts of a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change
Changes in the Comprehensive Guide Plan must be carefully analyzed in terms of the
effect on the Guide Plan balance, impact on surrounding land uses, traffic impacts,
and site specific impacts. Each of these issues will be examined in detail in the
following sections.
Affect on Current Guide Plan Balance
The conversion of Residential and Office guided areas to Industrial will displace
between 1,100 to 1,300 housing units. These figures are the result of a reduction
of Residential land area which translates into 500 to 1,000 units less than the
currently approved Guide Plan. The amount of Industrial acreage proposed on -the
property will generate a need for 892 housing units based upon a ratio of
approximately 30 housing units per acre of industrial land.
( C
Douglas Planned Unit Development 3 November 22, 1985
Impact on Surrounding Land Uses
The current Comprehensive Guide Plan for the Northrup King site dated March 19,
1985, has developed this site into a strong residential character. Surrounding land
uses are also residential in character with the exception of the Vo-Tech School to
the south of the site. The change in land use designation to Industrial would
create an island of Industrial land uses in the middle of an area guided as
Residential. Impacts on surrounding land uses are also visual. Staff expects, that
because of the height and setback of the building, the project will be highly
visible from Staring Lake and from the Centex project to the west. The PUD as
proposed provides distance, but no physical interruption for any transition to
offset these visual impacts.
Site Impacts
The PUD plan involves an office building and a series of industrial buildings
connected with a common pedestrian corridor totalling 320,000 square feet. The
project is 13% office and 87% assembly/warehousing. The site plan is proposed at I-
2 setbacks, which Staff feels is inappropriate given the size of the project. At
the very least, the I-5 Zoning district should be required, which has 75-foot
minimum setbacks to building and parking. The open space proposed along Anderson
Lakes Parkway should be made a part of the site and incorporated into the setbacks.
The site is being developed at a Floor Area Ratio of 0.24 on 30.6 net acres of land.
If the entire 68 acres is utilized, which includes 38 acres of open space, the Floor
Area Ratio would be 0.12. While this is a low intensity land use, it should be
pointed out that the open space to the south of the site is not proposed for
dedication and includes future long-term expansion of the project.
The future long-term expansion of the project would occupy approximately 20 acres
and at a 0.3 Floor Area Ratio, an additional 261,000 square feet of building area
would be possible. The additional square footage would increase traffic
significantly and impact the affected intersection of Anderson Lakes Parkway,
changing the level of service from a D to an F condition, which would not be
acceptable.
Parking for a project of this size would be based upon actual uses of the building
which have not been identified in detail. The percentage of assembly and warehouse
has not been specifically identified, though the proponent has indicated to Staff
that it would be mostly assembly. Using 13% office, 67% assembly, and 20%
warehouse, total parking required would be 869 spaces. A total of 777 is provided
on-site.
The architecture of the project could be described as warehouse and industrial. The
buildings together appear quite massive. The building is 24 feet in height and
collectively occupy an area approximately 600 feet in length and 500 feet in width.
The proponent has attempted to respond to initial Staff concerns about the
massiveness of the structures and has proposed building jogs. While this is a start
in the right direction, the degree of architectural refinement at this point is not
adequate to offset the industrial appearance of the project. Use of brick on the
building is helpful, but it is not a strong enough statement to negate the fact that
the project is massive and industrial in nature.
No rooftop mechanical screening plan is proposed at this time. Staff expects that
Douglas Planned Unit Development 4 November 22, 1985
due to the size of the buildings, mechanical equipment will be large and numerous.
In addition, Staff has observed a pattern with other industrial buildings, whereby
rooftop units tend to "grow" at random according to the use of the building after
projects are approved, making it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of
screening proposed at time of site plan review.
Minimal berming and landscaping is provided around the site perimeter. Because of
the elevation of the property and height of the buildings, Staff expects the project
will be highly visible from Staring Lake and the Centex project to the west. Staff
feels that there is not an adequate transition provided to these differing uses when
the massiveness of the project is taken into account.
To summarize, the height of the building, massiveness of the structures, lack of
proportionate architectural articulation, large parking areas, and minimal building
setback all contribute to the industrial character of the project.
The table below compares the Douglas project with four other large industrial users
in the community. As the chart indicates, the Douglas project is comparable to
these developments.

Staff has prepared site plans for each of the Industrial complexes at 200-scale to
give you an idea of what the site typically looks like.
Corporate Headquarters' Image
The proponents have indicated to Staff that they wish to create a corporate business
campus-like atmosphere on-site. Corporate headquarters means generally a single
user for the project and the image conveyed depends upon the use of the building.
The use of the building is largely assembly and warehouse and that is the type of
image that is conveyed. The type of corporate headquarter's image appropriate on
this site consistent with the Guide Plan office designation would be comparable to
Super Value on Bryant Lake, or General Mills on Highway #12 in Golden Valley. Both
of these projects are office uses, parking and loading areas are not visible, and
particular attention is made to existing site features and enhancement of them.
(-
Douglas Planned Unit Development 5 November 22, 1985
Serious consideration is given to elaborate landscaping including the creation of
ponds, creeks, flowerbeds, walk-way systems, jogging trails, and recreational
facilities. The development of the open space helps complement the office character
of the project.
The site plan as proposed conveys a corporate image similar to the four other
industrial users identified in the industrial comparisons chart. This type of image
is fine in an area designated and planned for industrial but is not acceptable in
this location. An example of an area already planned and approved for this type of
use would be Technology Park, located adjacent to the MTS campus reserved for large-
scale industrial buildings up to 350,000 square feet per site, and 1.4 million
square feet overall.
Is any Industrial Land Use on this site appropriate?
At the time of the Hoyt and Northrup King requests for Industrial development of the
Northrup King site, the Planning Commission did not feel that an adequate
substantiation had been provided for changing the Guide Plan to allow any type of
Industrial use on the property. Even though a specific PUD plan has now been
prepared, it reinforces the position that Industrial land use is not appropriate.
The site plan as proposed contributes to a warehouse, or industrial, appearance of
the property. There may be industrial land use types which may be appropriate on
this site; however, it would be up to the individual proponents to provide a
convincing argument. At the very least, Staff would expect that industrial land
uses on the property would have to convey a business-like campus atmosphere, provide
a building architecture which is office-like in appearance, provide large open space
and natural amenity-type areas which contribute to an open feeling on the site.
This would include ponds, creeks, recreational facilities, generous landscaping, and
lots of flowering plant materials. It may be possible, using these criteria, to
develop an acceptable site plan; however, since 87% of the building is warehouse and
assembly, Staff doubts, at least architecturally, that this would possible.
The industrial land uses on the property, although at a low Floor Area Ratio, will
still impact visually adjacent properties because of the lack of transition to
offset building height and mass. In addition, the industrial use on this site is an
island in an area that is developing primarily as residential. Regardless of the
amount of buffer that could be provided, industrial use in this location does not
make sense because of other impacts which are land use and traffic related.
Although the traffic study would indicate that the traffic would improve slightly if
this project was approved based upon the square footage, bear in mind that there are
approximately 20 acres to the south of the project, which if developed as
industrial, would double the amount of square footage on the property and likely
change the level of service at affected intersections from a D to an F condition,
even with improvements for better traffic flow at the -intersections, including
additional left-turn lanes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff feels that the proponent's PI10 concept is indicative of a typical industrial
facility comparable to other large scale industrial projects in town which would not
be acceptable on this site, and would recommend denial for the following reasons:
1. The change from residential to industrial will displace between 1,100 to
1,300 housing units, changing the Guide Plan balance.
( ( I
f Douglas Planned Unit Development 6 November 22, 1985
4
2. The project is a spot land use in an area guided for residential land uses.
3. This project will develop over a long period of time, and once the Guide
Plan is changed to industrial, the City will lose most of its control over
site development.
4. An industrial use of this site will visually impact surrounding uses. The
site is visible from Staring Lake and Centex Homes.
5. The project as proposed is 87% industrial and 13% office.
6. The buildings collectively are very massive and inappropriate visually next
to residential uses.
7. The buildings appear industrial architecturally. Brick alone doesn't negate
the industrial appearance.
8. The site plan as proposed doesn't convey a business campus image since
special site features, heavy landscaping and recreational amenities, are
lacking.
9. With future development of land to the south, traffic will be at level of
service F or worse, which is unacceptable. In addition, and though not
identified in traffic study, Staff would expect significant truck traffic.
10. The size and number of mechanical units on the building also convey an
industrial image. Mechanical units are difficult to screen and to control
since mechanical units have a tendency to "grow" with the use of the
building.
11. Not enough parking is provided on-site.

A. DOUGLAS CORPORATION HEADQUARTERS, by Opus Corporation. Request for
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on approximately 68 acres
for construction of 320,000 square feet of office/warehouse.
Location: West of Highway #169, South of New Anderson Lakes
Parkway. A continued public hearing.
At the request of the proponent for additional time to provide more
1
Planning Commission Minutes 2 January 13, 1986
information, the Planning Commission continued this item to this meeting
from the December 9, 1485, meeting. Staff reported that, since that time,
proponents had not met with Staff, nor provided any changes in the plan for
Staff review. A letter reiterating the original request was submitted to
the City prior to delivery of agenda packets.
Mr. Arlyn Grussing, representing Douglas Corporation, stated that the
proponents had decided to leave the plan as it was, that they felt it was a
"special plan" as originally designed. Mr. Grussing reiterated several
points from the previous meetings, noting that the building was being
constructed on a concourse system; the amount of development shown in the
plans would likely not be built out until the year 2000; the waste water
facilities for the plant would be amongst the most modern available. He
referred to the letter submitted to the City, which outlined the proponent's
response to the fifteen points of the Staff Report of December 6, 1985,
regarding the development. Mr. Grussing stated that the entire development
would likely have an "institutional" look to it, like a school, which, he
felt, would blend well with the Vocational-Technical School to the south.
Bye stated that she was uncomfortable with the idea of depleting the City's
stock of High Density Residential land, especially since this was one of the
last locations for this land use within the Comprehensive Guide Plan. She
stated that she felt that proponents had not provided a compelling reason to
change the Comprehensive Guide Plan to the designation requested by the
proponents.
Hallett asked how many of the total housing units in the community would be
single family and how many of the total units would be multiple family when
the City was completely built up. Planner Enger responded that, based upon
the Comprehensive Guide Plan, approximately 60% of the units would be
multiple family units and 40% of the units would be single family units.
Hallett asked how this compared to other communities. Planner Enger
responded that the percentage of single family would be similar to
Bloomington, more than what was present in Edina, and probably slightly less
than what was present in Minnetonka.
Planner Enger stated that, based on land uses in place already, the City
would not be able to reach these ratios, but would likely end up with more
single family units, instead. Planner Enger noted that the amount of land
area to be occupied by single family land use was five times as great as
that which would be occupied by multiple family land use. Hallett stated
that he was uncomfortable with these ratios and felt the two numbers should
be interchanged to provide for more single family units than multiple family
units. He added that he felt there was already enough multiple development
within the community, as planned.
Bye stated that people in the 20-30 year old age range were not necessarily
choosing to purchase single family detached dwellings for many reasons. She
noted that multiple housing fit the needs of families which were starting
out, as well as the needs of the "empty nesters" whose children had grown
and were no longer living at home. Bye stated that because of the various
needs multiple housing could fill, she did not feel the City should be
short-sighted in terms of providing the type of housing that would meet the
needs of many residents, now, and in the future.
Planning Commission Minutes 3 January 13, 1986
Hallett stated that the City had approved approximately 1,50D units of
multiple family, High Density Residential development in this area within
the past year. In addition, he noted that the City would soon be reviewing
an 800-unit multiple family, High Density Residential project just to the
north of this site in the near future. He stated that he felt the City was •
concentrating alot of High Density Residential development in this area and
questioned whether this was wise. Hallett added that he felt this site
could be suitable for the type industrial development proposed by the
proponent.
Bye stated that she had 8-10 years of background in the housing field for
the county government. She stated that she had seen many changes to
Comprehensive Guide Plan land use designations from housing to Industrial
use, but that she had not seen any changes made from Industrial to housing
use. She stated that it appeared that once a housing use was eliminated
from a Comprehensive Guide Plan, it was not replaced elsewhere within that
Comprehensive Guide Plan. She stated that, if she knew that there were
other areas within the community where this amount of housing could be
relocated, she would be more comfortable. She noted that the Staff had
pointed out that this was the last parcel of any size available within the
community with a designation for High Density Residential and that any other
parcel of comparable size would require a Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment.
Marhula suggested that it may be possible to convert an area designated for
Low Density Residential over to High Density Residential in order to keep
the population ratios approximately the same. He stated that he felt the
site plan presented was a good one and that the uses proposed were clean
manufacturing uses, adding that he felt the proponents were offerring an
attractive proposition to the City.
Johannes stated that he concurred with Marhula about the opportunity for
population balance. He stated that he was not convinced that this was the
only remaining area within the community which was suitable for High Density
__ Residential development.
Johannes expressed concern regarding the architectural appearance of the
structures proposed. He stated that he felt the buildings appeared bulky,
with few windows, more like a manufacturing plant. He stated that, if this
was the type of building proposed, that there were other areas of the
community which would be better suited to support this type of structure in
a designated industrial park. Johannes stated that he felt this should be a
"special" structure, if the City was to change its Comprehensive Guide Plan
for it.
Gartner stated that she felt there were other areas of the community which
could support High Density Residential development, that this was not the
only suitable location. With respect to the site plan, Gartner stated that
she felt the building architecture could be improved and that she liked the
open space areas proposed as part of the plan.
Mr. Dick Putnam, Tandem Corporation, real estate brokers for the property,
stated that his company was in the process of preparing an application to
the City for a Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment to change the designation
Planning Commission Minutes 4 January 13, 1986
of the Industrial property in the west, southwest area of the community to
residential. He stated that, currently, the Comprehensive Guide Plan did
not indicate any multiple family housing in this area of the community.
Mr. Putnam stated that he had suggested to the proponents that, instead of
open space along the west portion of the property, they should perhaps
construct the multiple family residential units as designated on the
Comprehensive Guide Plan in order to provide a transition of unit type to
the adjacent single family residential area.
Planner Enger stated that the proposed mixed residential use in the
southwest portion of the community could make sense, but that this matter
was under study at this time. He stated that he agreed that it would
require the change of currently designated Low Density Residential property
to Medium, or High, Density Residential in order to make up the unit balance
that would be eliminated by the conversion of this site to another land use
category.
Planner Enger expressed concern about the future land use of the property
along Highway #169, currently designated for Office use by the Comprehensive
Guide Plan. He stated that he was concerned that the amendment of the
property proposed for an Industrial designation for the Douglas Corporation
could have a significant influence on the property designated as Office
along Highway #169. Planner Enger stated that, should Industrial zoning be
granted for the Douglas proposal, it would make it easier to substantiate
Industrial, or Commercial, zoning in the place of the Office land use
currently in place. He stated that, while Douglas Corporation was looking
ahead for a period of fifteen years, the City would have to live much longer
with its decisions.
Hallett asked if the public would be allowed to make use of the property
designated as open space on the western portion of the development. Mr.
Grussing stated that this would not be open to the public for liability
reasons.
Hallett asked if the covenants proposed by the developer to make this a
permanent arrangement could be changed. Planner Enger stated that the
covenants could be changed, if all parties agreed; however, the covenants
proposed did not involve the City. Mr. Grussing stated that the City could
use its legislative tools, such as the developer's agreement, to make this a
permanent situation.
Regarding the appearance of the buildings, Mr. Grussing stated that the
proponents had only prepared enough information to deal with the Concept
Stage level of plans. He stated that, based upon the decisions of the City
regarding the Planned Unit Development Concept, Douglas would proceed to
more detailed plans, which would include architectural renderings in greater
detail.
Johannes stated that he was concerned about the exterior appearance of the
structures. He asked whether the City would have enough control within its
Code to impose construction requirements at a any stage beyond the Concept
Stage, if approval was granted of the request as presented at this time.
Planner Enger stated that, within the next phase of the Planned Unit
Planning Commission Minutes 5 January 13, 1986
Development, the City could request a development framework manual within
which Douglas would be required to develop. He noted that any approval at
this point would include the proposed clustering, or "concourse style"
buildings, the relationship of the structures to the open space, and other
land use elements shown by the proponents.
Chairman Schuck stated that he saw nothing new in what was presented by
Douglas Corporation at this time and that this concerned him, based upon
statements made by the proponents about showing what was "special" about
this plan at the last Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Bob Worthington, Opus Corporation, representing proponent, stated that
proponents were requesting a land use decision regarding the appropriateness
of Industrial use on this property. He stated that he felt the design
issues were issues that could be worked out with the City, once the land use
issue was settled. Mr. Worthington stated that if the proposed land use was
not appropriate for the site, then it was likely that even good design would
not help in this situation. He added that he felt the opportunity for
control would be present at future stages of development of the property, if
the City decided the Industrial land use was appropriate for this site. •
Johannes asked if this had been done previously with other sites in the
community, whereby development controls were initiated afterwards. Planner
Enger responded that a similar situation had been created with the Prairie
Center Business Park.
•
Planner Enger stated that there had not been any reasons offered by the
proponents for changing the Comprehensive Guide Plan land use designation to
Industrial. He pointed out that proponents had told the Commission that
they would return to this meeting with changes; however, this had not been
done. Planner Enger stated that the project should probably stay at the
Planning Commission level for a longer period of time, if the Commission was
not comfortable with the plan as shown.
•
Chairman Schuck stated that he felt the proponents were inflexible, in that
it did not appear that they were willing to amend their plans. He stated
that he did not feel there was room for negotiation with the proponents,
based on the comments made by Mr. Grussing.
Hallett stated that, while he was not adverse to an industrial land use on
this site, he was expecting to see more from the proponents before arriving
at this point in the process.
Gartner stated that she liked the concept of the open space, but that she
was uncomfortable with the industrial use as proposed in this location.
MOTION:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Bye, to close the public hearing and
to recommend to the City Council denial of the request of Douglas
Corporation for Planned Unit Development Concept for approximately 68 acres
for 320,000 sq. ft. of office/warehouse use, based upon the following
findings:
Planning Commission Minutes 6 January 13, 1986
i { d
A. The land use request does not represent Industrial development above
and beyond other developments of this type, which currently exist in
the City within Industrial areas.
B. The request for land use change has not been substantiated
acceptably to the City.
C. The City currently has adequate available acreage within its
boundaries which has been designated for this use on the
Comprehensive Guide Plan.
Motion carried--4-2-0 (Johannes and Hallett against)
Hallett stated that he felt the proposed mix of 60% multiple family units
and 40% single family units for the community represented too high an amount
of multiple family units, adding that this area would have as many as 1,500-
2,000 multiple family units, concentrating a large amount of multiple family
units into one area. He stated that he liked the open space portion of the
plan and felt there was an advantage to the use being located in close
proximity to the Vocational-Technical School and the airport. He added that
he felt a compromise was possible, and, therefore, he was not in favor of
the motion.
Johannes stated that his main concern was the exterior view of the
structures, which, he believed, was something which could be mitigated by
the proponents and City. Therefore, he was not in favor of the motion.

Planning Commission Minutes 4 December 9, 1985
B. DOUGLAS CORPORATION, by Dpus Corporation. Request for Planned Unit
Development Concept Review on approximately 68 acres for
construction of 320,000 square feet of office/warehouse. Location:
West of Highway #169, south of new Anderson Lakes Parkway. A
continued public hearing.
Staff reported that this item was continued from the November 25, 1985,
meeting to allow Staff to gather additional data regarding the proposed
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Plan and the impact of the proposed
land use change upon the overall land use balance within the community.
Staff reviewed the data gathered regarding the proposed PUD Concept Plan,
listing items of concern involving any future site plan detail for the
project, as had been requested by the Commission.
Planner Enger reviewed the findings of a memorandum dealing with the impact
of the proposed land use change on the overall land use balance within the
City and other impacts, such as traffic, of such a change to the
Comprehensive Guide Plan. He stated that the project had been reviewed with
the Community Services Department and the Assessing Department with respect
to questions raised at the previous meeting. The Community Services
Department had reported that the City did not have any need for the proposed
open space, or the proposed ball fields, in the plan. Facilities serving
these purposes had been designated elsewhere in the community. Regarding
total assessed value and, therefore, financial benefit to the community, the
Assessing Department had evaluated the difference between the designated
Comprehensive Guide Plan uses and the proposed use of the property. It was
reported by the Assessing Department that the assessed valuation of the
designated Comprehensive Guide Plan uses would be approximately
$18,000,000.00, while the assessed valuation of a facility as proposed by
Planning Commission Minutes 5 December 9, 1985
the proponent would be approximately S6,000,000.00, including consideration
of fiscal disparities, or one-third that of the designated Comprehensive
Guide Plan uses.
Mr. Arlyn Grussing, representing proponent, stated that the proponents felt
they would be creating a better situation for the community by their plan,
versus the land uses designated by the Comprehensive Guide Plan. He stated
that there would be less traffic generated from the site, there would be a
good "marriage" between the proposed industrial facility and the Vocational-
Technical School in terms of training and employment, and the open space
would be available. Mr. Grussing stated that there would be a total of
approximately 30 acres of residential use removed from the Comprehensive
Guide Plan by their plan.
Regarding the open space, Mr. Grussing stated that the proponents did not
see the need for scenic easements over the open space area, whereby they
would be required to give up all rights to the property. He added that they
did not feel that the property should be dedicated to the City, either, if
there was no credit toward Cash Park Fees given for the dedication.
With respect to the 15-20 acres shown for use as ball fields, adjacent to
the Vocational-Technical School, Mr. Grussing stated that proponents still
wished to maintain this area for the possibility of another structure,
should it be needed by the proponent in the future. He stated that
proponents would be willing to commit to not selling it to another party for
a different use.
Mr. Grussing added that the proponents felt the most significant issue was
that of land use. He stated that, prior to dealing with any of the site
plan issues, the proponents felt the matter of land use needed to be
resolved. He stated that the proponents were willing to work out the site
plan issues with the Staff at a later time, after resolution of the land
use.
Planner Enger stated that there were still significant questions to be
answered regarding exactly what the proponents were requesting. He stated
that approximately one year ago, proponents were not certain how the all
property would be used. Currently, proponents were indicating that they
were unable to make any commitments about the open space to the west or the
south and that their potential expansion plans were also uncertain and may
affect open space.
Planner Enger noted that with a similar project, the City and another
proponent had worked out land use issues prior to commitment by the City as
to land use. He stated that a list of criteria had been established by
joint effort and then followed by the proponent. Planner Enger stated that
Staff was uncomfortable with the fact that the proponents for the project
would not commit to the conditions of the Staff Report, most of which were
Code requirements.
Mr. Grussing stated that the proponents were willing to commit to the plans
they had shown the Commission. He stated that the proponents- needed
additional time to review the conditions of the Staff Report. He stated
that the proponents would comply with all Code requirements in their site
plan.
Planning Commission Minutes 6 December 9, 1985
Mr. Greg Nook, Opus Corporation, representing proponents, stated that he had
reviewed all of the points of the Staff Report dealing with the site plan
and felt that these were all items which could be complied with by the
proponents.
Planner Enger stated that all of the points of the Staff Report had been
raised at the previous Commission meeting on this project, therefore, there
should be no new information for proponents regarding the site plan. He
reiterated concern that the proponents commit to meeting these requirements
prior to action on the land use for the property.
Hallett stated that he did not necessarily agree that 1,300 units of
multiple family residential was the best use of this property. He pointed
out that the current Comprehensive Guide Plan designations for the property
were the result of a compromise situation of approximately one year ago. He
questioned how much of an impact there would be by changing the land use
designations for this area of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Hallett stated
that he was not comfortable about the tentative nature of the open space at
the south end of the property, adjacent to the Vocational-Technical School.
He stated that he would prefer this to be definite in terms of use. Hallett
stated that he was less concerned about what activities were taking place
within the structures than he was about the outside appearance of the
structure and whether it fit into the community. .
Hallett asked Staff to explain the increase in traffic discussed in the
Staff Report. Planner Enger explained that additional traffic would be
introduced into the community from people not living in the community, but
working in the community and having to commute to work. If housing were
provided in the community for people also working in the community, there
would be less traffic impact on the major thoroughfares connecting Eden
Prairie to other communities. Planner Enger stated that about the same
volume of traffic would be generated by both land uses, if developed
completely.
Hallett asked Staff how many apartment units were needed in Eden Prairie.
Planner Enger responded that studies done during development of the
Comprehensive Guide Plan and updated since that time, indicated that
approximately one percent of the total land area of the community needed to
be reserved for High Density Residential use. By comparison, he noted that
approximately 35% of the total land area of the community had been reserved
for Low Density Residential use, or single family homes.
Planner Enger noted that the City had reviewed proposals on almost all of
the land which had been designated for High Density Residential use. The
property upon which this proposal was shown was one of the last pieces.
Therefore, the City was not looking at a trend toward High Density
Residential land-use for the future. He added that other remaining property
designated for High Density Residential land use was not in as close
proximity to services as this property, which made it an important site,
also.
Hallett stated that the property had not been designated as Highh-Density
Residential until approximately one year ago. He asked if the City had
suddenly determined that there was additional need for High Density
Planning Commission Minutes 7 December 9, 1985
Residential land within the community. Planner Enger stated that the City
had converted many acres of land designated as High Density Residential to
other uses over the past several years. Staff had determined that over 200
acres had been converted in this manner. Therefore, the property for the
Douglas proposal was not adding to the inventory of High Density Residential
land within the community, but replacing some of the land which no longer
had this designation.
Hallett stated that he still felt the Douglas proposal could have merit in
this location.
Mr. Todd Walker, 8926 Pine Bluff Court, stated that he had attended the
original hearings on this property, which had taken place approximately one
year ago. He stated that he also had attended the meeting held by the
developer regarding the current proposal and had been completely against it
initially, as it appeared that the developer was returning to the completely
industrial type of project which the City had denied at that time. Mr.
Walker stated that, after talking with the developer, assurances had been
given regarding protection of the open space area shown on the west side as
a buffer to the existing residential area, screening of mechanical equipment
from the existing residential area, berming and landscaping, no glare from
the site, etc. He stated that, without these items, the proposal was
difficult to accept at all. Mr. Walker noted that there were 25-30 children
living on his block and that he was concerned about traffic, too. He stated
that the children did not always play on their own street and that he was
especially concerned about increased traffic on Research Road due to this
type of development. Mr. Walker stated that he felt tight conditions should
be agreed to ahead of time by the developer, guaranteeing development as
discussed with the neighbors.
Mr. Walker questioned what would happen if the economy suddenly became bad
for this business, and what would become of the buildings proposed. He
stated that this was all the more reason for having tight conditions up
front in a development like this.
Gartner stated that, at the time the previous developer had requested a
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change about one year ago, one of the
considerations for her vote was that the existing residents were in favor of
being adjacent to residential uses. She added that there were also other
considerations, and that she did not consider an amendment to the
Comprehensive Guide Plan as a small matter.
Chairman Schuck stated that he felt articulation of the proposal and
conditions of its development were important. He stated that he felt this
was a rather significant decision that the Commission was being asked to
make and that they needed as much information and assurance as possible to
make an intelligent decision. He added that he felt the decisions the City
made on this proposal would impact Eden Prairie for a long time to come.
Chairman Schuck stated that it was his opinion that the City could likely
control a High Density Residential use much more than an Industrial use in
any case. He added that he was uncomfortable with the unknowns of this
development proposal.
Planning Commission Minutes 8 December 9, 1985
Hallett stated that he felt any controls needed to be in place early in the
project development. Chairman Schuck concurred.
Mr. Bob Worthington, Opus Corporation, representing proponent, stated that,
if the issue was one of control over the development, Opus would be willing
to commit to the controls requested by the City. He stated that they were
already willing to commit to the conditions listed in the site plan review
Staff Report, and that there may be suggestions for other items, as well.
Mr. Worthington stated that the proponents had approached the City with a
request for Planned Unit Development Concept in order to determine whether
they were headed in the right direction with the development of the
property, or not. He pointed out that each successive step would require
substantial investment of the developer and the City in time and planning
and engineering review.
Chairman Schuck stated that there were many long range implications of this
proposal, if approved. He stated that he felt the City must act on behalf
of the existing residential neighborhood, not just on behalf of the
developer, in a situation like this.
Dodge stated that she was not convinced that the City had too much High
Density Residential land. She stated that she felt it was important that
people who worked in Eden Prairie could live in Eden Prairie.
Chairman Schuck stated that the City had to be careful not to respond to the
market when making decisions such as this. He stated that it was Staff's
responsibility to keep the Commission abreast of the overall picture. In
this case, Staff had raised several questions which impacted the overall
picture of the City's development. Chairman Schuck stated that he did not
take such recommendations lightly.
Dodge stated that she felt this was a good location for High Density
Residential use and that she felt it was better to keep such uses in closer
proximity to each other.
Commission, Staff, and proponent discussed the next step for this project.
It was suggested that Staff and proponents review additional site plan
issues and that proponent return to the Commission for additional review.
Planner Enger stated that Staff did not feel that any persuasive reasoning
had been cfferred to change the land use for this facility and that they
would be looking at this in any future submissions from the proponent. He
added that Staff would be open to incorporation of any additional
conditions, or assurances, that the developer would have to offer, as well.
Chairman Schuck stated that he felt the City must receive something special
from this development, if it were to be approved. He reiterated concern
that this was a major decision to be made by the City. He pointed out that
once this property was taken out of circulation as High Density Residential,
there was no turning back. Therefore, the City needed to be certain of any
such decision.
Hallett stated that, as proposed, he was not in favor of the development.
He expressed concern about the site plan issues raised in the Staff Report.
He also stated that he felt the proponents could make some changes in the
4.J
Planning Commission Minutes 9 December 9, 1985
plan, which may improve the request.
Mr. Worthington stated that the proponent felt that there were other things
they could do with the development to illustrate the special qualities of
this site for the use proposed. He asked the Commission for a continuance
at this time.
MOTION:
Motion was made by Hallett, seconded by Gartner, that this item be continued
to the meeting of January 13, 1986, with direction to the proponent to
reconsider the points regarding the site plan, the comments of the
Commission from the meeting of November 25, 1985, and this meeting, the
concerns of the Commission regarding the park and open space areas, and
benefits to the City, in general, if the plan were to be implemented.
Motion carried--3-1-0 (Dodge voted against)
Dodge stated that she was not convinced that removing the property from the
High Density Residential designation of the Comprehensive Guide Plan was
appropriate, nor did she feel that proponents would be able to provide
significant information to the contrary.

Planning Commission Minutes 2 November 25, 1985
C. OOUGLAS CORPORATION HEADQUARTERS, by Opus Corporation. Request for
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on approximately 68 acres
for construction of 320,000 square feet of office/warehouse.
Location: Highway #169 and Anderson Lakes Parkway. A public
•
hearing.
Planning Commission Minutes 3 November 25, 1985
Mr. Arlyn Gruessing, representing Douglas Corporation, gave a brief history
of the company, its functions, and its products. He provided examples of
the product manufactured by Douglas, explaining that they manufactured
nameplates for identification purposes for many types of products. Mr.
Gruessing stated that Douglas currently had over 500 employees all scattered
around the Twin Cities Area in various buildings. He noted that one of the
purposes for purchasing such a large site was to consolidate all the uses
and to allow for any future expansion needs for the company at least to the
year 2DDO.
Mr. Gruessing stated that there were other factors involved in the
corporation's selection of this site, including proximity to Flying Cloud
Airport, the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, I-494, and Highway
#169. In addition, Mr. Gruessing stated that Douglas Corporation felt it
would be a mutual advantage to be located so close to the Hennepin County
Vo-Tech for purposes of training and availability of employees.
Regarding the park facilities shown at the southern end of the property, Mr.
Gruessing noted that they had held preliminary discussions with the Vo-Tech
to discuss the school's needs for park facilities. The facilities shown
were intended to be shared between Douglas Corporation and the Vo-Tech.
Mr. Greg Nook, Opus Corporation, representing proponent, reviewed the site
characteristics and discussed the design of the development with the
Commission. He stated that all of the concerns of Staff, including the
number of parking spaces for the development, screening of mechanical
equipment, etc., had been reviewed by the proponent and that these matters
could be dealt with in greater detail as the plan proceeded through the
review process. He stated that proponents were willing to work with the
City in all these matters.
Mr. Mitch Wonson, Benshoof and Associates, traffic consultants for
proponent, stated that, based on studies performed on the proposed
development, the amount of traffic generated from this use would be less
than half of the amount that would be generated by the current land use
designations for the site.
Planner Franzen reviewed the findings and conclusions of the Staff Report of
November 22, 1985, with the Commission. He stated that, by comparison, this
proposed development appeared to be similar to other industrial uses within
the community, noting the massive view of the structures, as an example.
The development proposed 87% industrial use within the structures and 13%
office use. It was noted in the Staff Report that this proposed industrial
use would be visible from Staring Lake and the Ridgewood West neighborhoods,
visually impacting both areas. The site plan for the development did not
convey the typical business campus image with special site features such as
heavy landscaping, recreational amenities, office-type architecture. The
site plan indicated large and numerous mechanical units and that there would
be significant truck traffic involved with the development.
The Staff Report also dealt with the concern for a balance of uses within
the Comprehensive Guide Plan, noting that the proposal would eliminate a
significant amount of land for housing purposes within the community. The
proposal represented a 1,000-1,200 unit decrease in the number of housing
Planning Commission Minutes 4 November 25, 1985
units for the community.
Gartner stated that she felt the project was potentially a good one for this
site, given that the development would be owner-occupied. She expressed
concern that the recreational space at the south end of the development be
properly controlled so as to make sure the recreational uses were permanent.
Bye concurred that the site design was a good one. She stated that her
overriding concern was the impact of converting so many acres designated for
residential use to industrial use. She questioned how many times this had
been done in the past and whether the City's housing stock would be strongly
impacted by such a conversion.
Marhula stated that he was aware that the City had converted a substantial
amount of property from Medium Density Residential to Low Density
Residential over the years. He stated that the City had, at those times,
acted on the best information available.
Planner Enger explained that the City had set a goal to have a balance
between the number of jobs in the community and the number of households in
the community so that people working in the City could live in the City. He
stated that the elimination of this area as a housing designated use would
be significant and would impact the existing balance of the Comprehensive
Plan.
Chairman Schuck stated he was concerned about the power and utility
requirements for such a large manufacturing use. He also expressed concern
about the amount of industrial use that would be within the community
compared to other communities. Chairman Schuck noted that Eden Prairie
already had a larger percentage of industrial use than many of its
surrounding neighbors.
Mr. Gruessing stated that not all 95 acres were proposed for conversion from
residential to industrial use, but less than 30 acres were proposed to be so
converted. He stated that the remainder of the property would be proposed
for Open Space, or Office, use.
Marhula asked if the proponents had considered moving the proposed
industrial facility closer to Highway #169, thereby eliminating less of the
residential use of the existing Comprehensive Guide Plan. Mr. Gruessing
stated that this had been considered; however, it had been determined that
the north-south collector street was too important to circulation for the
site in general to be relocated, or even eliminated, as would happen with
shifting of the industrial use closer to Highway #169.
Bye asked if it would proponents knew when they may need to expand their
facilities into the proposed recreation area at the south end of the
property. Mr. Gruessing stated that it would likely be after the year 2000.
Marhula asked if the north-south collecter street paralleling Highway #169
was necessary for traffic circulation. Planner Enger replied that the road
was considered necessary based on existing Comprehensive Guide -Plan
designations of the property. He stated that it may not be necessary with
the plan proposed by Douglas Corporation.

Planning Commission Minutes 5 November 25, 1985
/'
Marhula stated that he would like more information on the impact of the
proposed land use change on the balance of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. He
stated that he had the same concerns as those listed in the Staff Report
regarding the balance of uses. Marhula added that he did feel the plan, as
presented, had merit, however. Other Commissioners concurred.
Hallett stated that he felt it would be important to have a "permanent"
dedication of the property at the south end of the proposed development for
use as open space.
Chairman Schuck asked for comments, or questions, from members of the
audience. There were none.
MOTION:
Motion was made by Marhula, seconded by Gartner, to continue this item to
the December 9, 1985, Planning Commission meeting pending additional
information from Staff regarding the balance of the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
Motion carried--5-0-0

EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Feb. 3, 1986
B. Douglas Corporation Headquarters
Refer to staff report dated December 6, 1985 and memo dated
January 31, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services.
Lambert introduced the architect representing the Opus Corporation.
He reviewed the site plan which is located on the old Northrup King
site between the vo-tech and new Anderson Lakes Parkway. The
request is for PUD concept revision, as Douglas Corporation is
proposing an automotive parts manufacturing facility and offices on
the 65 acre site. Five to six acres to the west of the site are

designated as open space. There would be no development at this
time on 10-15 acres of the site on the south end. Be added that
Lambert has spoken to Bob Worthington regarding the developer
dedicating five acres to the Cityin lieu of cash park fees. Staff
recommends a scenic easement commitment on the open space south of
Research Road and west of the fire lane. The proponent feels using
the extra land on the site for additional ballfields should be
discussed.
Shaw said since he believes the cheapest transportation for auto
parts is by rail, this site would not be appropriate. The
proponent said that since the parts Douglas manufactures are very
small, most shipping is done by truck.
Shaw said that since the manufacturing of heavy plastics requires a
great deal of water, he asked where it would come from. The
architect said that the water would come from the Northrup King
well, go to the plant and then out again to the sanitary sewer
system.
Shaw asked the total number of square feet planned for the
facility. The proponent said it is approximately 320,000 square
feet.
Kingrey said he is concerned with the forest area surrounding the
site. Lambert said that land to the south is vo-tech property and
the creek area is City boundary. Be feels nothing significant
other than a trail could be done on five acres and it would work
out just as well to have it as a scenic easement.
Shaw discussed the possibility of bringing the water from the plant
into Staring Lake since there will be no contaminants in it. The
Commission agreed that this concept should be discussed further.
Cook asked about the trail system on this site. Lambert said there
will be a trail along Research Road and Staring Lake to the school.
MOTION: A motion was made by Baker to recommend approval of the
PUD concept as outlined in the staff recommendation, but to include
the preservation of creek open space and the buffer, the potential
for joint development of ballfields with the vo-tech, the potential
for water augmentation to Staring Lake, the addition of a pathway
system and payment of cash park fees. Kingrey seconded the motion
and it passed 6-0.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services—
DATE: January 31, 1966
SUBJECT: Community Services Department Staff Comments on Development Proposals
DOUGLAS CORPORATION PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The request is for PUD District review on 68.6 acres. The major issue in this
request is a land use issue on whether or not the City should allow an industrial
use on an area that is guided for office and multi family housing. The only parks,
recreation and natural resources considerations are relating to open space
commitments and the impact industrial development would have on the adjacent park
property. The Commission might wish to comment on the proposal to dedicate land in
lieu of park fees.
The Community Services staff have indicated to the developer that if industrial is
approved on this site, staff would recommend a scenic easement on the open space
commitment south of Research Road and west of the fire lane. Staff has further
indicated to the proponent that staff would be recommending the Council accept park
fees in lieu of the land dedication; however, the City would accept the land
dedication as a gift, if the proponent wished to dedicate the park in that manner.
Staff would recommend the Commission attempt to obtain a commitment on where a
scenic easement dedication line would be established. It should be noted that the
Planning Commission recommended denial of this request on a 4-2 vote. The Community
Services staff have no recommendation one way or another regarding the land use;
however, staff does recommend the City obtain the scenic easement and require
payment of cash park fees if this project is approved. r
This item was first brought to the Planning Commission in September of 1985 with a
{ request for Guide Plan change from low density reisdential to medium density
residential and zoning district change from R1-22 to RM 6.5 on 7.58 acres, and
preliminary plat of 8.36 acres of the two lots for the construction of 30 townhomes
and a single family home. The request has now been changed to request for zoning
district change from R1-22 to R1-13.5 on 8.36 acres and preliminary plat of 8.36
acres into 17 lots for construction of 16 single family homes.
The site is located east of Alpine Trail, south of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul
and Pacific Railroad. The development of this site will require extensive grading
with cuts of up to 52' and fill of up to 24, which will result in removal of the
majority of the vegetation on this site. Due to the steep grade of the road, even
development of half acre lots would require nearly the same grading; therefore, tthe
Community Services Staff recommend the approval of the Apline Village Single Family
request as per the Planning Staff Report of January 10, 1986.

F.S.I. Office Building 2 February 7, 1986
Site Plan
The site plan depicts a 19,000 square foot office building on a 1.6-acre parcel
known as Lot 9, Block 1, City West Addition. The building has a base footprint of
9,500 square feet and a total Floor Area Ratio of 27.3%. Designed as a two-level
building, the upper level, which fronts along the northern property line, measures
13.5 feet in height while the lower level measures 27.5 feet. The maximum height
allowed in an Office Zoning District is 30 feet.
Building setbacks are 25 feet from the front property line and 20 feet from the side
property line. However, as the site plan indicates, the majority of the building is
located 30 feet from the side lot line in addition to a minimum front yard setback
of 40 feet from City West Parkway. These distances have occured because of the
strange lot configurations within this area, including the property line jog in the
northeast corner and the placement of City West Parkway.
Due to the relatively small size of the site based upon proposed building square
footage and parking requirements, the majority of the site is being used for
parking. Oriented in an east/west direction, there are six parking bays located in
front of the building with a driveway entering from City West Parkway and leading to
the lower level parking garage. This driveway has been placed within 10 feet of the
south property line and within approximately 40 feet of the pond. The southerly
most parking stalls have also been placed within 60 feet of the pond. Because of
this, Staff is recommending additional landscaping and berming along this portion of
the site to help screen the parking areas and retaining walls.
Access/Parking
Based upon a building square footage of 18,200 (19,000 including garage), and a
parking requirement of 5 parking spaces/10D0 square feet G.F.A., a total of 91
parking spaces would be required. A total of 75 spaces (3 garage stalls) are
proposed to be constructed at this time. The additional 16 required parking spaces,
two of which are located within the common easement, have been shown on the site
plan as proof-of-parking. An agreement has been made with the adjacent property
owner to allow this parking to occur, should it be required.
Access to the site will be from City West Parkway through either the common easement
along the west property line or from the driveway to the north. Ingress and egress
can be described as unusual due to the median locations within City West Parkway and
the shared driveway median limiting turning movements. Because of this, both access
points have been designated as right-in/right-out only.
Traffic
As part of the City West Planned Unit Development, this site and the adjacent parcel
were envisioned to be developed with up to 120,000 square feet of office uses at an
F.A.R. of 0.30. This would allow for approximately 21,000 square feet of building
to be constructed on this site.
Approved in 1983, the CRC building was to be constructed containing 21,000 square
feet which was in conformance with the approved City West P.U.D.. In terms of trip
generation, a total of 258 trips per day with 36 trips occuring in the peak hour
were calculated. These figures are based upon a trip generation rate of 12.3 trips
F.S.I. Office Building 3 February 7, 1986
per day per 1000 square feet G.F.A. with 14 percent of the trips occuring in the
peak hour. In comparison, based upon a total building square footage of 19,000 for
the F.S.I. building, a total of 234 trips per day and 33 trips in the peak hour has
been calculated. Overall, a reduction of 24 trips per day and 3 trips in the peak
hour shall be realized, based upon the decrease in building square footage.
Grading
Elevations range from a highpoint of 903 in the center portion of the site and 898
in the northwest corner to a low point of 887 in the extreme southwest corner. The
site slopes in a westerly and southerly direction towards the pond from the 903
contour elevation. Grading on-site to prepare for construction of the parking lot
includes a minimal amount of cut and fill and a general leveling of the site. The
building has been designed with two levels to take advantage of the slopes adjacent
to the pond. The 1st floor elevation is at 905 and the lower level is at 893.
A retaining wall is being proposed along the south property line to allow for
parking and access to the lower level garage. The wall will be approximately 200
feet in length with approximately 4 feet being visible at the highest point.
Located within 40 feet of the pond, Staff would recommend additional earth berming
against the wall, thus reducing the effective height and increasing the amount of
landscaping to help break up the view of the wall and parking area. Staff also
recommends that a 5-foot berm be constructed along City West Parkway which, in
addition to the proposed landscaping, should be adequate to screen the parking lot.
Landscaping
Based upon a total building square footage of 19,000 square feet, a total of 60
caliper inches would be required. The applicant is providing a total of 91.5
caliper inches. These plantings will be primarily located adjacent to City West
Parkway and along the western property line. Designed to screen parking areas,
Staff would also recommend increasing the berm height along City West Parkway to 5
feet. Prior to the City Council meeting, the applicant will be required to submit a
revised landscape plan.
Architecture
The proposed building utilizes a basic rectangular design, with the south and east
elevation featuring a curi-linear wall system designed to take advantage of views
towards the pond. The building along this portion of the site is approximately 27.5
feet in height while the height of the building adjacent to City West Parkway and
the shared driveway to the west is approximately 13.5 feet. In addition, a rotunda
has been included as part of the entrance design and measures approximately 23 feet
in height.
Primary building materials include face brick and glass, with accent material along
the curved wall being tile faced concrete block and colored precast concrete.
Because colored precast concrete is not an acceptable building material, Staff
recommends the substitution of this material, with another material compatible with
the adjacent tile faced concrete block.
As part of the building elevation along the west and north elevation, a subtle brick
pattern has been introduced to add variety to the expanse of wall in these
locations. Staff has reviewed the pattern with the associated brick colors and
F.S.I. Office Building 4 February 7, 1986
determined that the pattern is very subdued and portrays an "office" character.
Samples of the exterior building materials and colored building elevations will be
available for review by the Planning Commission.
Utilities
Water and sanitary sewer service is available to this site. These services can be
provided by tapping an existing 10" water line and an existing 8" sanitary sewer
line within City West Parkway and extending two, 8" lines to the building.
Storm water service will be provided by a series of catch basins located within the
parking lot area. All storm water captured within this system will be released into
the pond located immediately south of the proposed development project.
Signage and Lighting,
Prior to building permit issuance, overall signage and lighting details shall be
submitted for review and approval. All signage should be of a consistent size and
style. Lighting shall be restricted to down-cast luminars.
Pedestrian Circulation
There is an existing 8-foot bituminous trail located to the south of the proposed
F.S.I. building adjacent to the pond. In order to provide an additional ammenity to
this site, Staff would recommend that a connection from the lower level of the
building be made to this trail.
Staff Recommendations
A. Prior to City Council review, proponent shall,
1. Submit a revised landscape plan.
2. Submit a revised grading plan, depicting a 5-foot berm along City
West Parkway and additional berming along the retaining wall.
3. Submit a revised site plan.
4. Provide samples of exterior building materials.

CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 86-39
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE
COMPREHENSIVE MUNICIPAL PLAN
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has prepared and adopted the Comprehensive
Municipal Plan ("Plan"); and,
WHEREAS, the Plan has been approved by the Metropolitan Council; and,
WHEREAS, the proposal of the City of Eden Prairie for designation of its
Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) Line as a Year 2000 MUSA Line requires the
amendment of the Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Eden Prairie,
Minnesota, hereby adopts the amendment of the Plan as follows: the Metropolitan
Urban Service Area Line shall be a Year 2000 Line, along with the text changes
attendant thereto.
ADOPTED by the City Council of Eden Prairie this 4th day of March, 1986.
Gary D. Peterson, Mayor
ATTEST:
John D. Frane, City Clerk
MEMORANDUM
(
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: February 7, 1986
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment--Designation of Year 200D MUSA
Line
Eden Prairie's current Comprehensive Guide Plan anticipates a new trunk sewer,
referred to as Mitchell/Red Rock/Staring trunk (MRS) being extended into Southwest
Eden Prairie in three phases between 1980 and 1990. The MRS trunk was to tie in to
the Purgatory Creek Interceptor Sewer at Purgatory Creek, north of Staring Lake.
Phase I was scheduled for 1980-81, Phase II for 1983-85, and Phase III for 1985-90.
Although we have had interest from developers for several years to extend this
trunk, the City did not wish to open up an entirely new area for development before
other large areas in the City, which were currently serviced, were developed.
The timing for this extension is now appropriate. Within the same time frame that
Eden Prairie has been anticipating extension of the MRS trunk, the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission and the Metropolitan Council were studying possible routes
for an additional interceptor sewer planned to relieve capacity problems for the
Lake Minnetonka/Shorewood Area. After considerable negotiation, all agencies
concerned have agreed that putting the interceptor on the same alignment as Eden
Prairie's MRS trunk would serve a dual purpose and save money. The savings to Eden
Prairie is estimated at $1,000,000.
The Metropolitan Council was reluctant to locate the sewer in the MRS alignment
because it expanded the possible sewer service area far beyond what urban demand
could justify (beyond the current MUSA Line) and they were concerned about premature
development of the area. The Metropolitan Council felt that Eden Prairie and
Chanhassen should contractually agree not to exceed their adopted MUSA Lines prior
to the year 2000. The Metropolitan Council also felt that Eden Prairie's
Comprehensive Guide Plan was not clear as to what year MUSA Line we had adopted, so
they asked us to clarify it.
The Staff has now clearly labeled the MUSA Line as a year 2000 line on the
Comprehensive Guide Plan graphic and gone through the text of the Comprehensive
Guide Plan and made revisions which add further clarification. In addition, we have
changed text which refers to a five-acre lot size in the Rural Area to reflect ten-
acre minimums to coincide with our own Zoning Code (changed in 1982) and the
Metropolitan Council Development Framework. The location of the MUSA Line has not
change.
We also have included a chart showing population and sewage estimates for the
future. Our estimates are slightly higher than the Metropolitan Council's, and we
provide an explanation we hope they will accept.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the changes as presented and
forward their recommendation to the City Council. Staff would then submit these
changes to the Metropolitan Council and other affected governmental agencies and
request that they review it as a minor amendment (a ten-day process versus a 120-day
process).

FIG.5.10

Both Eden Prairie's projections and the Metropolitan Council projections are shown
for planning purposes. Population projection, 15 years in the future, without some
degree of error, is difficult. The Metropolitan Council requires that communities
adopt their population estimates. Because these estimates are translated into
finite sewer allocations, it will be important to update population projects every
year so that requests for changes in sewer allocation can be made and substantiated,
if Metropolitan Council population estimates prove to be too low.
In 1980, the Metropolitan Council estimated Eden Prairie's 1990 population to be
23,500. Since 1980, the Metropolitan Council has changed this estimate three times,
from 23,500 to 25,000 to 27,000, and to the latest estimate of 32,000. The year
2000 forecast has been modified from 33,000 to 43,000. We expect the forecasting
flexibility to continue, if actual population differs from forecast. The problem
with accepting the disparity between the two population estimates is best
illustrated by looking back to 1980, when Eden Prairie accepted the Metropolitan
Council's 1990 sewer "estimate" of 2.39 million gallons of sewerage per day (MGD).
The word "estimate" was used in 1980, and the idea that it could be changed was the
basis upon which Eden Prairie accepted 2.39 MGD, rather than our estimate of 4.37
MGD. The concept has changed somewhat since 1980 and the sewage flow estimates are
now called "allocations." The Metropolitan Council utilized their "estimates" for
sewer facility planning. Since their population estimates seem to be at least 9,000
people low, it is not surprising that the 1984 "measured average daily flow" for
Eden Prairie was 2.45 MGD, as compared to their 1990 estimate of 2.39 MGD. The
problem, then, is that the Blue Lake Treatment Plant has not been expanded to
account for the actual population growth. Since no "freeboard" was built into the
population estimates, our area is now "nearing sewer capacity" for 1990, five years
early. In order to prevent this problem of being caught short on capital
improvements, we feel that one, or all, of the following is necessary:
1. Project a population range, not just a finite number.
2. Update population projections in a timely enough fashion to provide the most
accurate number just prior to major capital improvement expansions.
3. Do not allow population estimates to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The
idea of sewer allocations being based upon population estimates, and
subsequently enforcing those estimates with moratoriums, is bad planning.
Where is the growth going to occur, how can we best plan for it, and if we
guessed wrong, how can we correct our development framework to accommodate
growth without artificially obstructing it? The Metropolitan Council states
in their Development Investment Framework that they do not intend to force
growth in a direction different than market conditions dictate.
4. Look at areas that are at urban service capacity and ask, were our
population estimates wrong, is this why we are out of capacity? Being out
of service capacity could very well be an indicator of fast growing areas
where capacities should be increased. Instead of a signal to slow growth,
it should be a signal to increase capacities.
5. Build some play into the capital improvement plans for sewer. Improvements
must be able to be moved up, or back, in time as needs dictate.
6. Build flexibility into sewer plant expansions so that their capacities may
_. 1
be increased incrementally above sewer flow projections without major
improvements.
7. Eden Prairie should continue to update the Metropolitan Council on local
conditions that would affect Council population estimates.
8. Provide for additional sewer plant improvements, as necessary, to prevent
obstructions to growth. Growth in this area is consistent with the
Metropolitan Council's policy of supporting free-standing industrial and
commercial areas.
9. The priority system philosophy needs further study to assure that we do not
reach a "those who have get, those who have not, get not" situation. The
area financial resources should be projected against area needs to assure
that the first priority area does not take all of the area's resources.

As seen in Table 5-2, low density residential development alone
accounts for a population of between 40,000 and 71,000, about two-thirds
of the entire projected residential population. If all the residential land
within the MUSA line (RL, RMl & 2, Ril) were developed in a low density fashion,
the population would range from about 50,000 to 88,000.
These population projections are all based on the projected land
use in Eden Prairie in the year 2025. Shorter term projections by
1) the Metropolitan Council and 2) by utilizing the 10% growth
model described in Section 2.f., yield population figures of 30,500
and 36,977, respectively in 1990. On the basis of these projections,
Eden Prairie can expect an average influx of people ranging from roughly
1,350 to 1,800 persons per year through 1990. These figures reflect
a policy of discouraging development in the rural service area prior
to 1998 2000 on less than b 10 acre lots. Growth pressures are expected to
increase after 1990, thus the immigration will increase.
Figure 5-2 indicates the location of the MUSA/line, which
has been changed slightly to reflect development that is
presently beyond the original MUSA line recommended by the
Metropolitan Council. Also indicated are transitional areas;
those areas within the urban service area that are not yet
served by sewer facilities. Transitional areas will have
development policies that differ from urban and rural areas
(see Section 6).
Table 5-3 indicates the projected employment in Eden Prairie
at maturity based upon the land uses envisioned in the
general development plan.

Residential - rural (RU)
-single family, detached homes (lot size = 5 10 acres or

Ms. Pat Pahl, Planner
Metropolitan Council
300 Metro Square Building

St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
Dear Ms. Pahl:
We are herein transmitting an amendment to our Comprehensive Guide Plan, which
includes the designation of our MUSA Line as a Year 2000 Line, adoption of a sewer
allocation flow of 4.93 million gallons per day for the year 20D0, and changes in
the text of our Comprehensive Guide Plan to clearly indicate a ten-acre Rural lot
size minimum to bring our Comprehensive Guide Plan into conformance with our
existing Zoning Code.
{ The Eden Prairie Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this amendment
on February 10, 1986. Input received by affected property owners pointed out that
there is a portion of land immediately west of our MUSA Line and south of the
Chanhassen "notch" consisting of approximately 212 acres (see enclosed map), which
the proposed Lake Ann Interceptor will cross. The property owners are aware that
being outside of our MUSA Line would preclude them from connecting to this sewer
interceptor before the year 2000. The property owners felt that transversing their
land with an interceptor sewer for a distance of approximately 3/4 of a mile,
without allowing them access privileges to the sewer, was unreasonable.
The Eden Prairie Planning Commission adopted a motion recommending approval of the
Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment as published. In addition, the Planning
Commission directed City Staff to include a request to the Metropolitan Council for
enlargement of the Eden Prairie Urban Service Area to encompass land through which
the proposed interceptor would cross.
We realize that adding land to the Urban Service Area cannot be justified on the
basis of urban land demand and we do not wish to suggest a land swap. However, we
feel that it may be in the best interest of all of the agencies involved to consider
this addition at this time, or in the near future, as a way of expediting easement
acquisition for a considerable length of interceptor pipe. Although we are asking
you to consider this addition to the Urban Service Area, we request that, should you
feel uncomfortable reviewing it within the ten-day process, you either eliminate it
from consideration at this time, or consider it under the full 120-day review
process, separate from the other Comprehensive Guide Plan amendments for
Ms. Pahl -2- February 13, 1986
clarification purposes discussed above.
In addition to submitting this Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, to the
Metropolitan Council, we have also transmitted copies to the following agencies:
Scott County, Carver County, Hennepin County, City of Chanhassen, City of Chaska,
Eden Prairie School District #272, Minnesota Department of Transportation, and
Hennepin County Highway Department.
We are hopeful that this Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment request cart be
considered within the ten-day review process, as the amendment is consistent with
requests made of us to provide this Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment by
Metropolitan Council Staff in connection with the sewer agreement we anticipate
entering into for the Lake Ann Interceptor in March, 1986. Please keep us posted on
your review progress, and contact us immediately if you have any questions, or
concerns. We hope to be able to take this to our City Council at their March 4,
1986, meeting, immediately prior to consumating the sewer interceptor agreement.

RE: Official Publication 4191 Amendment to the
Eden Prairie Comprehensive Cuide Plan
Board and Council Members:
I wish to go on record as strongly opposing the changes in the
Comprehensive Guide Plan changing the current 1990 ?I.U.S.A. Line, currently
in force in south and southwest Eden Prairie, to a year 2000 M.U.S.A. line, •
and changing the density to 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres.
In a community in transition from rural to urban, such as Eden ?rairie,
there are two factors in real estate valuation that must. be considered.
1.) It'.s agricultural value.
2.) It's transitional value.
Agricultural value speaks for itself in that the value of the income
stream that can he derived from a variety of crops is easily determined.
The transitional value is another matter. The additional value added
by transitional value gives future highest and best use which in this case
exceeds the agricultural value greatly.
Some of the components of transitional value are:
1.) Market conditions.
2.) Interest rates.
3.) Access to utilities.
4.) Timing of avail..bility of utilities.
5.) Zoning-present and future.
6.) Lot size requirements, etc.
My main objection of your proposed amendments are hased on item 4,
Timing of availability of utilities.
Even though, at this time, I am not interested in soiling or developing
the property I own, I feel I must point out that Your proposed actions
providing access to sewer and water inside the sI.tt,S..A. line crestly enhances
values, whereas the 10 years you are proposing to add to the 1990 W,it.S.A.
line greatly decreases values outside the line.
6
c c If
ff What disturbs me the most is that circumstantial evidence would
y,. indicate intent on the part of various departments in Eden Prairie for
future acquisitions of land outside the M.U.S.A. boundries.
Specifically, I am referring to the "Leapfrog" M.U.S.A. line on the
West boundry that goes directly around the land being contemplated for
park acquisition. The M.U.S.A. line drops due South to the Southwest
shore of Lake Riley at the Chanhassen city limits. What better way to
keep values depressed for future acquisition: Further, in the October
30, 1985 issue of Eden Prairie News I was very surprised to read that the
"City Staff" has been looking for future sites for ballfields, one of
which was 95 acres of apple orchard South of County Road 1 and East of
Dell Road which I own. Even though they decided on another site for the
ballfields, I feel strongly that this indicates future intent.
In conclusion: If the City of Eden Prairie does in fact pass the
amendment moving the M.U.S.A. Line to the year 2000, and in the next 14
years uses it's powers of eminent domain to acquire my property at the
severely diminished value resulting from said change, I will consider it
an arbitrary self serving abuse of power and initiate ap
propriate actions
as I deem necessary to protect my interests.

Dear Mr. Enger:
Thank you for your kind attention and concern regarding questions which
my clients had on Monday, February 10th regarding the MUSA line and the
sanitary sewer interceptor line which are presently under consideration.
I was happy to see that you are attempting to put into your agreement
with the Metropolitan Council several provisions which would keep the
City of Eden Prairie from being locked into the year 2000 in the event
that it is apparent that further development is appropriate in the
Western part of the City.
As I understood the resolution passed that night, it also included
consideration being given to persons over whose land the new sewer line
passes for the purposes of their using that line.
If you have a copy of that resolution, I would appreciate a copy of it
being forwarded to me. I would also appreciate being advised regarding
your progress on the sewer line agreement.
Thank you very much for your time.
Very truly yours,

To the Board and Council Members:
I wish to go on record as opposing an amendment to the Eden Prairie Comprehensive
Guide Plan, to change the M.U.S.A. line from the year 1990 anti extend. it to
the year 2000. In making this change, property values outside the M.U.S.A. line
will be lowered. MI property is just ou .of the line and borders on the west
side of the line. At this time some of` wi my property is being considered to be
acquired by the City of Eden Prairie for expansion of the Riley Lake Park.
If the City (by changing the present M.U.S.A. line date) plans to devalue my
property for the next I4 years, and in that time intends to acquire some of
the land at the lower value, I an totally opposed to their plan. I feel it is
1
a definite conflict of interest by the City of Eden Prairie.
If this change is approved, I feel that I must commence actions to protect
my interests.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 24, 1986
SUBJECT: Unauthorized Motorized Vehilces Use of Parks and Trails
As the City of Eden Prairie continues to grow, City staff have noticed an
increasing number of problems on City streets, private property, City trails
and within City parks relating to unauthorized motorized vehicles. These
include: dirt bikes, 3 wheel all terrain vehicles, and snowmobiles. The
majority of the complaints relate to neighborhood disturbances from
snowmobiles, and are received from throughout the developed areas of the
community.
On a recent inspection, City staff observed snowmobile tracks within every
neighborhood park and community park within the City; whereas, the only
authorized snowmobile trail within a City park is through Staring Lake Park.
The City has received complaints from both cross country skiers and
pedestrians using the trails within Staring Lake Park indicating they have had
to leave the trail, or be run down by snowmobiles or all terrain vehicles on
several occasions.
The Eden Prairie Snowdrifters Snowmobile Club has made a concerted effort over
the years to inform residents of where snowmobile trails are and have strongly
encouraged snowmobile users to observe City ordinances and stay on snowmobile
trails. Public Safety officers and park users often find that many of the
people that are not staying on trails are not Eden Prairie residents. Every
weekend there is a migration from Bloomington, Edina, Minneapolis, and other
metropolitan communities of people that simply know "snowmobiling is allowed
in Eden Prairie". Many don't bother to find out information about the rules
and regulations of operating a snowmobile within our community. It is a shame
that a few (and many are Eden Prairie residents) will most likely eventually
cause elimination of this recreation opportunity within our community.
It has been suggested that Eden Prairie is no longer a village and perhaps it
is time to consider restrictions on snowmobiles and off road vehicles similar
to those adopted by more developed communities. City staff would urge the
Council to consider several steps prior to restricting snowmobiling altogether
in Eden Prairie.
The Community Services staff would recommend that beginning in the winter of
1986-87 the City hire a part-time park ranger that would work generally on
weekends to patrol those areas where complaints are received. The park ranger
does not have the authority to arrest anyone, but would have constant radio
contact with the Public Safety Department and would be able to explain the
rules of operating a snowmobile within the City of Eden Prairie to individuals
who are not on designated trails, etc. The park ranger is able to take
license numbers of snowmobiles and file complaints on individuals purposely
breaking the law.
If the park ranger program does not adequately address the problem, staff
would then recommend restricting all snowmobiling to designated trails only.
These trails would be limited to the southwestern portion of the community.
Staff would suggest an area south and west of a line from 169 north to County
Road 1, westerly along County Road 1 to County Road 4, north along County Road
4 to Highway 5, and west along Highway 5 to Chanhassen. Anyone within the
community wishing to snowmobile on the trails in that area would have to
trailer snowmobiles to designated trail heads within that area. As this
section of the community eventually becomes developed, snowmobiling within
this area would ultimately be eliminated.
If this second step did not eliminate problems with complaints regarding
snowmobiles, staff would then have to recommend eliminating snowmobiling
altogether within the community.
Although complaints regarding snowmobiling are limited to the winter months,
complaints regarding all terrain vehicles and dirt bikes are a year-round
problem. The majority of these complaints relate to the use of these vehicles
on pedestrian and bike trails and within parks.
The City currently has an ordinance making it illegal to use any unlicensed
motorized venicle on pedestrian or bicycle trials or on park property. In
1986, City staff intend to increase park ranger patrols in areas where these
problems have occurred.
The Public Safety Department indicates that the snowmobile complaints relate
not only to a recreation concern, but to a public safety concern. Many of the
complaints are from neighborhoods where young people are "racing down the
street" on a snowmobile.
As the City becomes more urbanized the odds increase that sooner or later
someone will back a car out of a driveway into a snowmobile "racing down the
street".
The Public Safety Department indicates that it is nearly impossible to stop a
snowmobiler from a squad car, and the police are very reluctant to get into a
high speed chase with a snowmobiler because of a noise complaint. Lt. Clark
of the Public Safety Department supports the idea of a part-time park ranger
spending time educating snowmobilers within the community and also suggestd
the Snowmobile Club pass out flyers with the snowmobile trail locations and
snowmobile ordinance.
Staff will recommend that the Snowmobile Club budget up to $1,500 for
patrolling trails in their next DNR grant application, and would recommend the
City retain appoximately $1,000 of the 1986 park ranger budget for winter
patrol.
City staff will be in attendance with representatives of the Snowmobile Club
on Monday, March 3 to discuss this issue.

MEMORANDUM

THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services^
DATE: February 25, 1986
SUBJECT: Riley Lake Park Safety Conditions
At the February 18, 1986, meeting the Eden Prairie City Council directed staff
to prepare a report regarding safety conditions at Riley Lake Park.
The City of Eden Prairie has had concerns over the years regarding the safety
of the people using Riley Lake Park. In 1982, the City Council authorized the
expenditure of approximately $30,000 to realign Riley Lake Road within the
park in order to eliminate the high speed traffic between the beach and the
picnic area, and to eliminate the problem of cars backing boats across this
road during the launching process. At the same time, the City developed a
parking facility that limited trailered boats to 15 parking spaces with 20
additional parking spaces for cars without trailers. These changes
dramatically improved the safety conditions within the park and on the lake;
however, it also made the park much more attractive to participants and
increased the demand for the facilities. In 1983, there was over a 25%
increase in boat launches even with the 15 boat limit.
On February 18, 1986, the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance
No. 8-86 designating a slow no wake zone along the frontage of Riley Lake
Park. This ordinance will help reduce the potential for accidents between
swimmers, skiers, and boats.
A major concern the City has regarding safety at Riley Lake Park relates to
the lack of parking facilities presently available at the park. On most warm
weekend days, there are ten to fifteen cars parked on County Road I by people
that are using the park. The City has posted no parking along Riley Lake Road
and has posted no parking signs within 150' of the intersection of Riley Lake
Roadnd--County Road 1. When the parking lot at the park is filled, the
nearest parking area is along County Road 1, at least 150' from the
intersection of Riley Lake Road; this is somewhat over a quarter of a mile
walk to the park.
In 1985, the City acquired the Robert Hendrickson property, approximately 2
acres immediately north of the existing park. In 1986, the City will provide
a designated overflow parking area on the new park property that will
accommodate 15-20 cars. This overflow parking area should eliminate the
majority of the parking need on County Road 1, with the exception of the
extremely warm weekends and especially the holidays such as the 4th of July
and perhaps Memorial Day. (It may, of course, also simply encourage more use
of the park and not reduce the parking problem on County Road 1.)
The Public Safety Department indicates the major concern regarding parking on
County Road 1 is insufficient shoulder for parking adjacent to the road. The
cars that are parked along County Road 1 are directly adjacent to the asphalt;
therefore, people are walking on the road. If cars are parked on both sides
of the road and people are walking on both sides of the road, there is not a
great deal of room for two cars that may be meeting at 50 miles per hour.
Staff would recommend the Council request the County to post County Road 1 as
emergency parking only easterly to Dell Road and westerly to Crestwood
Terrace. This would increase the walking distance to the Riley Lake to over
one-half mile and should discourage any users that are not able to either
park in the park or in the overflow parking area.
